Causes mountall to fail to mount any NFS mounts in /etc/fstab.

The reason is mounting TYPE=nfs comes every time an NFS mount is *attempted* ... even when it will fail..

TO test this:

Add this to /etc/fstab (replacing ip/dir with a valid NFS mount of course):

192.168.122.1:/home/clint /mnt nfs ro,nolock 0 0

With the previous version of autofs, this would work fine on reboot. Now install 5.0.5-0ubuntu5 .. on reboot, /mnt will not be mounted.

Also there is no explanation given as to why we are now ignoring /etc/default/autofs which is a bug since upgrades from Maverick will break.
